For now, there's still a way to get your football fix, with the excellent Football Manager 2020 game currently allowing people to play for free. For a bit of fun, we simulated five years to the day into the future, and had a look at where every player from Sheffield Wednesday's last matchday squad is now.
5. LB: Morgan Fox - Sheffield Wednesday
Foxy is still at the club, and he's now vice-captain! He's thriving in his ninth season at Hillsborough, and is worth a rather tasty £5.5 million. (Photo by Clive Brunskill/Getty Images) Photo: Clive Brunskill
6. RW: Jacob Murphy - Millwall
It looks to have been a turbulent time for Murphy, who went from Birmingham City to Reading, before eventually joining Millwall. He's made an average of one assist per season. Oh dear. (Photo by George Wood/Getty Images) Photo: George Wood
7. CM: Barry Bannan - Unemployed
He's now an unemployed 'head of youth development', which is an interesting post-football career path. He finished his career with the Owls, and absolutely tore up League One in 2021/22. (Photo by George Wood/Getty Images) Photo: George Wood
8. CM: Joey Pelupessy - Heerenveen
FM reckons the Owls will sell the midfielder this summer, with a switch to Willem II. He's now on the books at Heerenveen, and had a disastrous first season with performances averaging 6.3/10. (Photo by Bryn Lennon/Getty Images) Photo: Bryn Lennon
